As Identity Manager is a web application, some classic devops skills are needed:

  • Web servers, especially IIS: declare a web site; configure an application pool.

  • Coding: very basic C# skills; PowerShell scripts.
  • XML and JSON syntax for configuration files.
  • Git or other source control tools.

The other technical skills greatly depend on the connectors needed for your projects. The most frequent ones are:

  • Excel and CSV
  • LDAP and Active Directory: understanding of LDAP attributes and of group membership.
  • Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory)
  • Exchange
  • REST API programming
